In the past five years, from "smooth start" to "obvious progress" to "vigorous rise", the policy system of free trade ports with Chinese characteristics has been gradually established, and the economic transformation has achieved remarkable results.

Over the past five years, focusing on structural adjustment, increasing kinetic energy, and attracting foreign forces, through system and process innovation, the modern service industry, one of Hainan's four leading industries, has developed rapidly. Among them, new breakthroughs have been made in the traditional strengths of cultural tourism services, and the shortcomings of education and medical care are gradually being filled. As the frontier of my country's deepening reform and opening up to the outside world, the improvement of various infrastructures in Hainan has attracted more and more domestic and international talents and resources to the island, injecting important strength into the construction of the free trade port.
